No Jack Lewis on Triumph mentioned by Beckey. Pete Doorish and Alex Cudkowicz doing the east face in '85. Turns out it was the Northeast Ridge we did. Good position but not much rock-climbing, which I was still learning was not the be-all end-all in getting up mountains. In fact, the most fun we had was seeing Bob and Pete, then meeting them on top, then a couple lucky guesses on the descent (or Bryan's sixth sense route finding).

Despite what the photo may suggest, that crack is too easy to have a name. The only danger was that my foot slipped halfway out of the shoe once. Ah well, I could have hiked down without, but I did reflect that down-climbing to recover the shoe was something I really didn't want to do, and something I didn't take into account when leaving the brushy gully for the crack.

Here's a couple. About a month ago I met up with Kyle and Kieran at Power Windows.

Kyle finishing up the aret of Power Windows 11b/c

Kieran wanted to traverse into it from the corner

A beautiful Remembrance day. Great friction

It looked pretty hard.
Panos are funny sometimes.. ;)

Kieran transferring into the slab

Kyle was kind enough to throw a rope on Quarryman for me and i felt really good on it.

Then I hit up Popeye and the Raven on the way down which went well till the top of the corner where I just wasn't seeing the move. It was nice to be shut down by the rock for a change rather than my body.. ;)

Kyle gave me a key piece of beta, and when i actually chose to apply it, i figured it out pretty quick. ;)
